I don't know how best to proceed with my first gun purchase. In December I made my selection, the owner did the over the phone check, and a few days later he said there is a hold up with my approval of said purchase. I went back to the store a week later and still no response from the "approvers". He told me he could sell it to me "conditionally". That is, on condition that it comes back okay and if not, someone would come for the gun. I declined that offer.

I do not know what the problem is. Store owner says sometimes that a name could be somehow mixed up or confused with a similar name in computer.

Does anyone know what I should do? Wouldn't it be a normal procedure to just run it again? Should "I" call them up and find out exactly what the problem is? I don't want go back out there without some knowledge of this procedure.

Thank you for any comments/assistance/personal experience with this type of thing.

You joke, but actually grenades were used this way in Kenya, Sudan, and Ethiopia to quickly harvest enough fish to feed a lot of villagers as recently as 2004 or so. That's no BS either, not my friend knows a friend who knows a friend. I directly know a refugee who did it.

A little beyond my capability, sorry. If you don't believe me, head to your nearest gun shop and see what's happening for yourself. I do wish I knew how to though because the pictures really are amazing.

Isn't it funny. The very first post was from a shill. It took him all of three minutes. That's one trademark of shills, is that they always attack VERY rapidly, to try and set the tone of the thread. Of course, they are too stupid to realize that it doesn't work. Even their immediate one star is quickly swallowed up in a sea of 5-stars.

take this how you wish, if obammy and friends try implement anything along the lines on confiscation. It does not take a genius to see the outcome> The only real safe outcome would be a military take over of office, and i mean safe for the populace.

Yeah, fooking asshats treating a nice old lady like that. There were lots of cases and to this day they still haven't got their weapons back. I saw it as it happen during Katrina because I was glued to the set concerned about gun grabs. Didn't watch all of it. Some folks were upper middle class and had plenty of weapons and ammunition and every supply possible and yet were forced to leave. It sucked all around. Meanwhile some nursing homes abandoned elderly residents and could have used help. But no that would made sense to help those folks and instead these jackboots attacked Americans exercising their natural rights!

This problem starts at the manufacturing companies. They were making so many a day, then the demand skyrocketed. For example: A company normally puts out 1 million .223 bullets a day, then the demand went up to 3 million a day. The company does not know how long this will last, so they just try to keep up as much as they can without having to hire more people and more equipment. This could be extremely expensive for something that may not last long. Then you have companys like Walmart who will not reorder until they see if a ban is passed or not. Some just dont want to be stuck with inventory once the law passes, causing a loss which could be a big loss.

Out here in Liberal Kalifornia, we had record attendance at the San Francisco gunshow. This was posted Saturday night: [link to abclocal.go.com]

The gunshops are pretty empty, as others have said, only shotguns, revolvers and bolt action or lever action rifles are left. I had been saving up for a FN FiveSeven, but looks like I'll never get one now. :(

Quit playing by the rules...they don't. If there's an issue with your name, have a relative with a different name buy it. Unless they turn on you and want to report "their" gun stolen you shouldn't have a problem. And...if the time ever comes that you have to use it, you have a BIG problem no matter who bought the gun. The good news is, you will still be alive so you can do some explaining to the police and the judge.

Do you honestly think any criminals have gone through all the background stuff to get a gun? Oh that's right, Only us law abiding citizens play by the rules.

As far as calling them up, there is nothing they can tell you. You are either approved or not..that is all the info the gun shop will have.

Glad someone starred this---the 'one-star" bandit had hit me. How you could one star this post is beyond me.

It must really be a dead, cold existence... the life of a shill.

Going through life "earning" their daily bread by accepting 30 pieces of silver to lie, distort, and cover the tracks of evil scum, who they dance on puppet strings for. Selling out their own friends and family, and fellow Americans.

I thank Almighty God that He promises in His word, that all liars will have their place in the Lake of Fire.

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves and makes a lie." Revelation 22:14-15

All shills who think they will escape judgment, had better take a good look around the. The very tyranny that they help to serve and protect, is the very beast that will be cast into the Lake of Fire.

Playtime is almost over... goons.

Enjoy your 30 pieces of silver while it lasts. All the signs say that you have but a short time left.

The 2 walmarts in my town in north county San Diego are out out out. Although the big 5 sporting goods just got a delivery and had plenty of stock with no future ordering problems according to their manager, it's just gonna cost me a little more now

By the way, this post was not aimed at you OP, but to the shills that infest these types of forums, doing their utmost to dissuade people from seeing reality for what it is.

I can vouch for what OP says, at least here in AZ. Both scottsdale gun club and US autoweapons shelves are 95% empty. They still had 1911's, revolvers, bolt action rifles and some shotguns but all the carry handguns and semi auto rifles were completely gone.

Even if nothing happens with the feds this has completely wrecked the gun economy for at least a year. You cant even find bullets, no not rounds, bullets as in components for reloading. All gone. This is going to put hundreds, maybe thousands of small gun shops out of business.

I would have thought that the 1.4 billion rounds the government ordered last year would have maxed the production capacity (for ammo.) That way it was so easy to foster a shortage.
